SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,806, dated October 1, 1.889. Application filed January 14, 1889. Serial No. 296,331. (No model.)

T0 @ZZ whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, GEORG GSCHWENDT NER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigars; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to attachments for cigars; -and it consists of a cigar the tip of which is removed, the perforated disk having points around its periphery, said disk being pasted on the severed end of the cigar, with the points secured to its body, and the disk being coated with a tasteless and insoluble substance, whereby it is rendered salivaproof, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim appended.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a side view of a cigarette with my improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a cigar having its tip removed and the paper disk applied. Fig.3 is a plan view of one of the disks that I prefer to use on cigarettes, and Fig. 4 is a similar view of one of the disks that I use on cigars.

My improvement, as illustrated, is applica ble to cigarettes as well as cigars, the points on the disk being a little larger when used on cigarettes.

In carrying out my invention I take a cigar=such as Adand out oif a sufficient portion at the tip end, or end to be placed in the mouth. I next take a little piece of paper or similar material, as indicated at B, having an approximately-circular center and an angular margin, forming radial tips a.. The paper is provided with one or more perforations in its central portion, as shown at b, and provided on one side with a coating of some suitable adhesive substance. 'The strip or tip is then applied to the cut end or mouth portion of the cigar, after which the said end is coated or immersed in a bath of shellac or other tasteless substance, which is insoluble by Water or saliva. By the employment of these tips it will be seen that the wrapper is preserved at the out end or mouth portion and passage preserved for the free draft.

Having described my invention, what I claim is#- An improved article of manufacture consisting of a cigar the'tip of whichis removed, a perforated paper disk having points around its periphery, said disk being pasted on the severed end of the cigar, with the points secured to its body and the disk being coated with a tasteless and insoluble substance, whereby it is rendered salivaproof, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

GEORG GSCIIW'ENDTNER.
